| [study on the epidemiology and distribution of human immunodeficiency virus-1 and hepatitis c virus infection among intravenous drug users and illegal blood donors in china]. | to determine the epidemiologic features and distribution of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (hiv-1) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection among intravenous drug users and illegal blood donors in china. | 2003 | 14687492 |
| prevalence and trend of hepatitis c virus infection among blood donors in chinese mainland: a systematic review and meta-analysis. | blood transfusion is one of the most common transmission pathways of hepatitis c virus (hcv). this paper aims to provide a comprehensive and reliable tabulation of available data on the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors for hcv infection among blood donors in chinese mainland, so as to help make prevention strategies and guide further research. | 2011 | 21477324 |
| hcv subtype characterization among injection drug users: implication for a crucial role of zhenjiang in hcv transmission in china. | hcv transmission is closely associated with drug-trafficking routes in china. however, the transmission route of hcv in eastern china remains unclear. here, we investigate the role of zhenjiang city of jiangsu province, an important transportation hub linking shanghai with other regions of china, in hcv transmission. | 2011 | 21304823 |
| drug resistance and hcv coinfection in former blood donors infected with hiv type 1 in china. | unhygienic blood collection caused an outbreak of hiv-1 and hcv infections among blood donors in rural areas in henan province, china. partial hiv-1 pol and hcv ns5b gene sequences were obtained from 97 persons infected with hiv-1 to determine the efficacy of treatment, the prevalence of drug-resistant mutations, and the impact of hcv infection on disease progression of infection with hiv-1. after antiretroviral therapy, 60 out of 97 hiv-1-infected blood donors had their hiv-1 rna levels reduced ... | 2011 | 21114465 |
| hepatitis c virus infection, linxian, china. | bloodborne viruses may have spread in rural china during the past 25 years, but population-based prevalence estimates are lacking. we examined the frequency of hepatitis c virus (hcv) and hiv type 1 (hiv-1) among residents of linxian, a rural community in henan province. in 2000, blood was collected from participants (> or = 55 years of age) who had enrolled in a population-based nutritional intervention trial in 1985. we randomly selected 500 participants for hcv testing and 200 participants fo ... | 2005 | 15705317 |
| molecular characterization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and hepatitis c virus in paid blood donors and injection drug users in china. | china is facing a rapid upsurge in cases of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection due to large numbers of paid blood donors (pbd), injection drug users (idu), and sexual partners of infected individuals. in this report, a total of 236 hiv-1-positive blood samples were collected from pbd, idu, and their sexual partners in the most severely affected provinces, such as henan, yunnan, guangxi, and xinjiang. pcr was used to amplify the p17 region of gag and ... | 2004 | 15564470 |
| [genotyping of hepatitis c virus and homology analysis of its core gene sequences isolated from different geological regions]. | to study the structure of its genotypes and gene variation of hepatitis c virus (hcv) isolated from different geological regions. | 2000 | 11860923 |
